enjoy the fleeting moments of 2006
welcome to all of the new visitors and thank you for all the comment action going on lately. getting actual comments and conversation starters makes dealing with comment spam worth it.
I’m going out of town for the upcoming holiday weekend on a last minute roadtrip. It should be interesting and will probably wipe out all positive income leftover this month - but sometimes these trips are just want the body and soul needs.
I’ve always placed various levels of immediate satisfaction, especially in terms of adventures such as this, as important for the heart as sound financial choices. This isn’t just a trip off into the deep green(back) yonder because it is taken knowing, up front and honestly, that it will take a big chunk of our December/January funds.
But, the partner hasn’t been up to see his many friends in years, like 10 or so, and my road tripping tendencies have been tucked away for two years too many. We’ll be leaving town tomorrow afternoon with hopes of reaching clean, pet-free, crash space well before dawn on Saturday.
While I’m off and not posting, I’ll be meeting many of the partner’s longest and dearest friends. He has even made arrangements for us to stay with a farm-running couple and get some hands on knowledge of where our newly outlined dreams are taking us.
It is such a relief to have this trip coming up because I’ve been feeling very stationary in terms of travel and been wanting to run off to my favorite destination. Also, he has arranged every detail of this trip and all I need to do is go along — and do lots of driving since we’re taking my car (35/mpg) instead of his (12/mpg). Maybe I’ll have some photos when we return.
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend and has a great start to the new year.
